Very big ears can be a disadvantage for elephants living in a dense forest because they can get caught in the foliage of the forest. Forest elephants have developed to be smaller then other African elephants and their ears are more rounded.

What does a African forest elephant look like?

They look like other elephants except that their tusks point downward and are straighter than those of the African Bush Elephant (to prevent getting caught on the dense jungle vegetation), they have more rounded ears, and they are slightly smaller than the African Bush Elephant. They also have a different number of toenails (bush elephants have 4 on the front foot and 3 on the back, and forest elephants have 5 on the front foot and 4 on the back).
